He used to be extremely good. I used to watch his replays where he would sack bases with just DH/Hunt abuse & harassment.

Then afterwards, he discovered DotA, and his skills moved there.

Now, he doesn't really play the game anymore, well maybe DotA.

I personally don't blame him. However, I have a computer in my brain that makes me remember every game I played well and a lot of. I can go back to Castlevania: LoD after 3 years and still beat it on Normal/Hard with any character. Or in this case, wc3 Melee.

If you have any questions, post them here.

But @ thread title: they like it cause it is popular so they want to play a popular game AND it takes little to no skill to control 1 hero all day. Sorry if i contradicted myself lol.

Ive beat a DOTA game in 30 minutes and it was only my 8th or so time playing, it was 3v3, but im not bragging, I thought DOTA was fun for the first 10 plays or so, but it got deathly boring after that, and I started playing custom games like castle fight, and footman frenzy, which are fun for much longer periods of time, I don't even see DOTA as a challenge, just tank creeps for 15 minutes with an ally then storm their base and take out the World Tree/Frozen throne, games like pudge wars, defend the lich king, and raccoon wars own those types of games by a mile.
